J.J. Lawrence desires to raise a guerilla co.
Wilson, March 18th, 1862
Gov. H.T. Clark
Dear Sir,
You are aware that Eastern Carolina now presents the finest opportunity for effective �Guerilla Warfare�. Well, sir, I propose to raise a Guerilla cavalry company of 750 men for service exclusively in Eastern North Carolina. Officers to be commissioned by you � not to belong to any regiment but be an independent company like those now got up in Georgia from authority of Gov. Brown.
If you will accept such a company we will have it ready in a few weeks and agree to swear in for �the war� and furthermore agree to furnish our own arms such as we can get until we can get better by taking them from Yankee pickets.
If the state neglects to use every effectual means to harass the enemy, why it deserves to suffer occasional defeats. Companys of guerrillas not belonging
